Mod loader

NeoForge 26.1.2.121

Mods

422

Java

25

Memory

8 to 10 GB

Memory is a starting point, not a rule: a big base or a busy server wants more, and giving a pack far more than it needs can make it stutter.

How do you install FTB Evolution 2?

1. Install FTB Evolution 2 from a launcher that handles modpacks: the CurseForge app, Prism Launcher or the FTB App. They fetch the mods and the right loader for you.
2. Pick version 1.4.0 unless you're joining a server on an older one.
3. Give it 8 to 10 GB of memory in the launcher's Java settings.
4. Java 25 is what this Minecraft version runs on; launchers usually install it for you.
5. The first launch takes a few minutes while the game builds its caches. Later launches are much faster.
